Which theory was the most effective in explaining this person’s pattern of behavior, cognition, and affect?

You will
conduct a 1-hour semi-structured interview with the goal to analyze an
individual’s motivation using two motivational theories that we have discussed
in class this semester. Specifically, you will be asked to collect information
on the individual’s engagement and persistence with academic activities, use of
self-regulatory & learning strategies, academic goals, & academic
performance. You will then create a narrative analysis explaining the CORE
premise of each of the chosen motivational theories and you will analyze the
person’s behavior using each theory. For example, was the pattern of this
person’s behavior, cognition, and affect consistent with the predictions from
the theory? Which theory was the most effective in explaining this person’s
pattern of behavior, cognition, and affect?
